Shirley Temples

"For beverages, our little guests drank homemade Shirley Temples," Gretchen says. "The bottle labels were personalized with Reese's name, and the straw flags had 'Hocus Pocus,' 'Abracadabra,' 'Birthday Magic,' and a bunny graphic on them. They were propped up on an old Coca-Cola crate that my grandfather used to store some of his woodworking supplies. I always try to work that crate into my parties somehow so he can still be with us."
